Hi my name is Tracie and I love to write, mostly when I am not being force to do so.  My writing is most influence upon emotions.  I tend to write more when I am not happy or confused.  This trend started when I was younger.  Often as a little girl I would barricade myself in my room with a book.  I enjoyed a love for reading, and found escape in different stories, from my own reality. Now that I am older, my love for reading has transformed into a love for writing.  Although I love reading other authors, I am my most favorite.  There are many stories to tell, and many ways to tell them.  I determine the outcome!  I don't necessarily have to be upset to be inspired to write(therapy, I call it), but I love humor, and I sort of think of myself as a comedian.  If I am an a humorous mood, I will write also. This is Why I write.
